VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(April 1, 2010) - Bard Ventures Ltd. ("Bard" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CBS) is pleased to announce significant drill hole assay results from a new area of molybdenum mineralization intersected during the current 2010 drill program on the Company's Lone Pine Molybdenum Property located 15 kilometers north-northwest of Houston, BC in the Omineca Mining Division.

The current ongoing drill program, which began in February 2010, is designed to evaluate molybdenum soil geochemical and IP geophysical anomalies bordering on a Quartz Feldspar Granite and onAlaskite intrusive. Significant drill hole assay results have been received from drill hole BD-10-61 located along the northern contact of the Quartz Feldspar Granite Intrusive in a new area of molybdenum mineralization located approximately 500m to the northeast of the known Alaskite Zone Resource described below. Drill hole BD-10-61 drilled due north to a final depth of 431.9m at -45 degrees, intersected several intervals of significant molybdenum mineralization averaging 0.04% Mo over drilled widths up to 58.1m with higher grade intersections averaging 0.07% Mo over drilled widths of 12.6m. Scattered intervals of elevated and anomalous copper, lead, zinc and silver mineralization is associated with zones of molybdenum enrichment with results up to 0.71% copper, 1.0% lead, 3.35% zinc and 451gmt silver over 0.7m drill width. Mineralization is associated with quartz veining and quartz stockwork hosted in altered Hornfelsed Volcanics, Alaskite and Granodiorite intrusive.

A summary of significant drill hole results from BD-10-61 is highlighted in Table 1 below.

Additional results have been received from drill holes BD-10-58 and BD-10-59 located 530m and 380m to the east of BD-10-61. These drill holes are collared within the Quartz Feldspar Granite intrusive and angled at -45 degrees to the north to evaluate anomalous molybdenum soil geochemical and IP geophysical results straddling the north contact of the granitic intrusive and surrounding hornfelsed volcanics. Elevated and anomalous molybdenum results were intersected in both holes within Quartz Feldspar Granite and Hornfelsed Volcanics as highlighted in Table 2 below.

The Company is very encouraged by these initial results which highlight the potential of this newly discovered area of molybdenum mineralization intersected in BD-10-61 located along the northern contact of the Quartz Feldspar Granite intrusive. Geophysical IP survey data suggests the overburden covered northern contact of this granitic intrusive stock may extend a further 500m to the northwest of BD-10-61 to 2007 drill hole BD-07-03. This isolated vertical drill hole is located north of the projected granitic contact and midway between the Alaskite Zone resource to the south and the Quartz Breccia Zone to the north. Drill hole BD-07-03 intersected several intervals of molybdenum mineralization hosted by altered Hornfelsed Volcanics and Granodiorite including 110m averaging 0.03% Mo from 40.0 to 150.0m. Deeper mineralized intervals were also intersected including 14.42m averaging 0.14% Mo (305.58-320.0m), 6.0m averaging 0.13% Mo (372.0-378.0m) and 12.4m averaging 0.04% Mo (412.0-424.0m).

The Company plans to continue with this exciting exploration program to add value to the existing mineral resource.

The Lone Pine Property currently has a calculated measured and indicated resource at a 0.04% Mo cutoff of 110,340,000 tonnes grading 0.083% Mo containing 201,733,000 in-situ pounds of molybdenum. (Please refer to News Release dated January 22, 2009 for full resource disclosure).

The Property has an ideal location for operations with established infrastructure including:

• Highway 16;
• a natural gas pipeline;
• a major hydro power transmission line and transformer sub-station; and
• is located only 15 kilometers from the CN rail line in Houston, BC.

Samples from BD-10-58 to BD-10- 61 were analyzed by Acme Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver utilizing the Group 1E methodology. Analytical procedures consist of a 31 element ICP analysis followed by assay for any molybdenum ICP analyses greater than 4000 ppm.

Bard is earning a 100% interest in the Property under the terms of an option agreement (see News Release dated September 15, 2006). The Lone Pine exploration work is being conducted under the supervision of Qualified Person Rick Kemp, P.Geo.

Drill hole BD-09-51 was located at the eastern margin of the granite intrusive intersecting strongly sheared volcanic and granitic intrusive stratigraphy followed by hornfelsed volcanics. Over limit assay results have been received from BD-09-51 within hornfelsed volcanics reporting 1.3% zinc and 396gmt silver over 2.0m within a 4.0m interval reporting 0.013% Mo. The remaining six drill holes (BD-09-52 to BD-09-57) were collared within the quartz feldspar intrusive granite, with drill hole azimuths oriented in an east-west direction. Re-analysis of over limit base and precious metal results from quartz vein intervals have been received reporting 529gmt silver over 2.0m within the quartz feldspar granite and 2.12% copper, 9.03% zinc and 303gmt silver over 0.5m at the granite intrusive contact in BD-09-53. Over limit results from BD-09-54 report 1.66% copper, 4.02% lead, 5.00% zinc and 2,400gmt silver over 0.4m within hornfelsed volcanics.

Assay results from the final 3 drill holes (BD-09-55 to BD-09-57) intersected both vein hosted and disseminated molybdenum mineralization within the coarse grained granite with best results reporting up to 0.052% Mo or 0.09% MoS2 (523.5ppm Mo) over 9.3m including 0.60% Mo or 1.00% MoS2 (5990ppm Mo) over 0.6m in BD-09-56 and 0.03% Mo or 0.05% MoS2 (314.9ppm Mo) over 12.0m including 0.12% Mo or 0.20% MoS2 (1210ppm Mo) over 1.1m in BD-09-57. Higher grade results were also intersected with results up to 0.36% Mo or 0.60% MoS22 (3563ppm Mo) over 3.8m including 1.18% Mo or 1.97% MoS2 (11,790ppm Mo) over 1.1m (BD-09-55) within the quartz feldspar granite intrusive. Vein hosted molybdenum mineralization was intersected in the hornfelsed volcanics reporting up to 0.03% Mo or 0.05% MoS2 (322.7ppm Mo) over 11.4m including 0.04% Mo or 0.07% MoS2 (445.8ppm Mo) over 6.0m (BD-09-56) with high grade intervals reporting up to 0.12% Mo or 0.20% MoS2 (1191ppm Mo) over 2.0m and 295gmt Silver over 0.3m in the quarts feldspar granite (BD-09-55). The intervals reported are drilled intervals as true thickness is unknown at this time due to the fact that the orientation of the veins is unknown.

The results from this first phase drill program confirm the potential for developing both disseminated and vein hosted molybdenum mineralization within the coarse grained granite intrusive and vein hosted molybdenum, silver, copper and zinc mineralization within the surrounding hornfelsed volcanics over significant widths. The Company is very encouraged by these results and is preparing a second phase drill program to further evaluate the quartz feldspar granite intrusive and hornfelsed volcanics on several previously identified geochemical and geophysical targets.

The Lone Pine Property currently has a calculated measured and indicated resource at a 0.04% Mo cutoff of 110,340,000 tonnes grading 0.083% Mo containing 201,733,000 in-situ pounds of molybdenum (Please refer to News Release dated January 22, 2009 for full resource disclosure).

The Property has an ideal location for operations with established infrastructure including:

--  Highway 16;
--  a natural gas pipeline;
--  a major hydro power transmission line and transformer sub-station; and
--  is located only 15 kilometers from the CN rail line in Houston, BC.

Samples from BD-09-51 to BD-09-57 were analyzed by Acme Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver utilizing the Group 1E methodology. Analytical procedures consist of a 31 element ICP analysis followed by assay for any molybdenum ICP analyses greater than 4000ppm.

Bard is earning a 100% interest in the Property under the terms of an option agreement (see News Release dated September 15, 2006). The Lone Pine exploration work is being conducted under the supervision of Qualified Person Rick Kemp, P.Geo.

Results have been received from the first 6 drill holes (BD-09-49 to BD-09-54) which were designed to test the eastern portion of anomalous molybdenum soil geochemistry covering the eastern portion of the quartz feldspar granite intrusive, its contact Alaskite phase and surrounding hornfelsed volcanics. This area is approximately 1,000m east of the known Alaskite resource described below. Assay results confirm both disseminated and vein hosted molybdenum mineralization is best developed within the coarse grained quartz feldspar intrusive granite with results reporting up to 8.2m of 0.030% Mo or 0.051% MoS2 (305.3ppm Mo) in BD-09-54 and 0.022% Mo or 0.036% MoS2 (216.9ppm Mo) over 9.6m in BD-09-53. Higher grade molybdenum mineralization was also intersected over intervals within the granite intrusive 0.10% Mo or 0.165% MoS2 (up to 989ppm Mo) over 0.4m. Vein hosted molybdenum mineralization within the bounding hornfelsed volcanics has to date returned high grade intervals of 0.13% Mo or 0.22% MoS2 (up to 1325ppm Mo) over 0.7m and 0.079% Mo or 0.13% MoS2 (786.6ppm Mo) over 2.3m. Over limit assay results for copper, lead, zinc and silver from scattered quartz vein intervals are pending.

The initial results from this first phase of drilling are considered very encouraging as it demonstrates the potential for locating both stockwork vein type and disseminated molybdenum mineralization within the quartz feldspar granite intrusive, and vein hosted mineralization within the surrounding hornfelsed volcanics which to date has not been considered as an exploration target receiving very limited historical exploration activity.

The results from the remaining 3 holes of the 9 hole drill program are pending and will be released once received and interpreted.

The Lone Pine Property currently has a calculated measured and indicated resource at a 0.04% Mo cutoff of 110,340,000 tonnes grading 0.083% Mo containing 201,733,000 in-situ pounds of molybdenum. (Please refer to News Release dated January 22, 2009 for full resource disclosure).

Mining and Exploration in Westernmost Canada - A Fundamental Research Corp. Analyst’s Perspective: In this article, we discuss mining potential in Westernmost Canada which includes the province of British Columbia, and the Yukon Territory. Despite a broad perception that opening a mine in British Columbia requires navigation through miles of red-tape and negotiations with First Nations, the province remains a hot-bed for mineral exploration. One influential factor is certainly the mineral potential associated with a region that, throughout its geologic history, has continually been situated on an active plate boundary (British Columbia ranks in the top 20 worldwide in mineral potential according to the Fraser Institute Survey of Mining Companies 2008/2009). The Yukon Territory on the other hand, remains largely under explored, and is benefiting from the devolution of authority from the federal government which has allowed management over its own resources.

British Columbia

Part of the mineral potential is shown in the number of past producing mines found throughout the province. Many of these past producing mines shut down due to factors varying from low metal prices, to poor resource delineation. Several companies under Fundamental Research Corp’s coverage are taking advantage of these past producing mines where significant mineralization is known to exist. One such company, Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: BPM - FRC rating and fair value: Buy and C$1.60 (Risk 5: Highly Speculative) - as of June 12, 2008) is following the age old adage that “gold is where you find it” in their attempt to revive BC’s most productive mining camp at the past producing Bralorne, Pioneer and King gold mines. Sultan Minerals Inc. (TSXV: SUL - FRC rating and fair value: Buy and C$0.26 (Risk 5: Highly Speculative) - as of October 26, 2009) is working to delineate a mineable resource of tungsten, lead, zinc and molybdenum at the past producing Jersey/Emerald mine near Nelson, BC [see image - Figure 1: Jersey Mine Trackless Portal, Sultan Minerals Ltd. (Source: Fundamental Research Corp)]

The infrastructure and availability of skilled labour is another inviting factor for the province. Companies such as Abacus Mining and Exploration Corp. (TSXV: AME - FRC rating and fair value: Buy and C$1.00 (Risk 5: Highly Speculative) - as of August 27, 2009) and Bard Ventures Ltd. (TSXV: CBS - FRC rating and fair value: Buy and C$0.35 (Risk 5: Highly Speculative) - as of October 13, 2009) are located within tens of kilometres - or less - of major infrastructure such as grid power, rail and road. Abacus currently holds an NI 43-101 compliant resource of 365 million tonnes measured, and indicated, containing 2.51 billion lbs of copper, and 2.29 million ounces of gold.

As can already be seen, an extremely wide variety of deposits can be found throughout British Columbia ranging from the above mentioned projects, to sediment hosted gold deposits such as Skygold Ventures Ltd’s (TSXV: SKV - FRC rating and fair value: Buy and C$0.62 (Risk 5: Highly Speculative) - as of April 30, 2009) Spanish Mountain project, to deposits containing metals used in high-tech applications such as Commerce Resource’s (TSXV: CCE - FRC rating and fair value: Buy and C$2.10 (Risk 5: Highly Speculative) - as of April 25, 2008) Blue River Tantalum-Niobium project. Another company which in on our radar, and we feel has interesting projects in British Columbia, including a potentially surface mineable gold deposit, is Goldcliff Resource Corporation (TSXV: GCN).

The Yukon Territory

In the Yukon, there has a been a significant spike in interest following the 2003 gold discovery at the White Gold property currently held by Underworld Resources Inc. (TSXV:UW). The Casino project, currently being advanced by Western Copper (TSX: WRN - FRC rating and fair value: Buy and C$3.73 (Risk 5: Highly Speculative) - as of November 24, 2009), is considered Canada’s second largest undeveloped gold deposit with in-pit reserves of 8.0 million ounces of gold, 4.4 billion pounds of copper, and 475 million pounds of molybdenum. What the Yukon currently lacks in infrastructure, it is making up for with a new geological database system, and improved permitting and social impact procedures. The Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act (YESAA) provides potential investors with a single point of contact for initiating environmental protection studies, and 11 out of 14 First Nations in the territory have settled land claims. Another company which we are monitoring in the Yukon is Aldrin Resources Corporation (TSXV: ALN).

In summary, while Canada’s western provinces and territories may not be considered first for exploration, investors should by no means take their potential lightly as their history (both mining and geologically) indicates a bright future.

Lone Pine Molybdenum Property:

The 2009 geological mapping and soil sampling identified the location of the favorable geological units including new areas of Alaskite and granites hosting visible molybdenum mineralization. The Alaskite intrusive is the main focus of the Lone Pine Property and in drilling it has been interpreted as being the most favorable lithology for molybdenum mineralization and is the host to the existing resource. During the field program all of the historical showings were re-located which comprised of old pits and trenches where molybdenum mineralization had been located All of the known showings located during the mapping program are located within the zone of anomalous Moybdenum in soils and it will be these areas that will be tested in the upcoming diamond drill program.

The Lone Pine Property currently has a calculated measured and indicated resource at a 0.04% Mo cutoff of 110,340,000 tonnes grading 0.083%Mo containing 201,733,000 in-situ pounds of molybdenum. (Please refer to News Release dated January 22, 2009 for full resource disclosure).

The Property has an ideal location for operations with established infrastructure including:

- Highway 16;

- a natural gas pipeline;

- a major hydro power transmission line and transformer sub-station; and

- is located only 15 kilometers from the CN rail line in Houston, BC.

Bard is earning a 100% interest in the Property under the terms of an option agreement (see News Release dated September 15, 2006). The Lone Pine exploration work is being conducted under the supervision of Qualified Person Rick Kemp P.Geo.,

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Oct. 19, 2009) - Bard Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CBS) ("Bard" or the "Company") is pleased to provide this update on the 2009 exploration on the Grouse Mountain Property (the "Property"). The Property is located approximately 15 kilometers north-northwest of Houston, BC, and is situated immediately to the north of Bard's Lone Pine Molybdenum Project in the Omineca Mining Division. As announced in the Company's news release dated September 21, 2009, the initial phase of compilation of all historic exploration work, geological mapping, soil and rock sampling has been completed.

The Company conducted a geochemical survey on the Grouse Mountain Property in August and September of 2009. A grid was established on the southwest-facing slope of Grouse Mountain, which is down slope of known showings and zones of mineralization. The geochemical grid was oriented perpendicular to the average trend of the mineralized zones, grid lines were established 200m apart and soil samples were collected at 50m intervals. A total of 356 soil samples and 6 rock samples were collected and submitted for analysis. Following the completion of the soil geochemical sampling program, geological mapping was completed over the gridded area to identify favorable settings for hosting structurally controlled copper, zinc, silver mineralization and to extend the property geology underlying the soil geochemical grid.

The results of the soil geochemical survey clearly define five distinctly anomalous multi element copper, zinc and silver geochemical trends. The attitude of the anomalies closely parallels the orientation of the Rainstorm, Creek, Copper Crown and Ruby Zones located immediately north-east of the geochemical grid, central to Copper Mine Lake. The strongest soil geochemical anomalies appear related to the southwest extension of the Rainstorm Zone and Creek Zone trends which can be traced intermittently over a distance of up to 1000m. The geological mapping program broadly identified the major units underlying the survey grid. During the course of the mapping program, three areas of historical trenching were located in close proximity to anomalous soil geochemical results.

Outcrop exposure is considered very good on the southwest facing slopes underlying the gridded area. Field examination of the anomalous geochemical soil sample sites along the anomalous trends are recommended to determine the possible cause for the anomaly. Prospecting along these trends is further recommended to locate structures favourable for hosting copper, zinc, silver mineralization.

Soil samples were collected by shovel from the B-Horizon at an average depth of 20-30 cm. The sampled material was placed in standard kraft paper soil sample bags and delivered to Acme Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver, B.C. for analysis, utilizing the Acme 1DX 36 element ICP-MS analytical process.

The rock samples were analyzed by Acme using their 1E 35 element ICP-ES method.

The Property has an ideal location for operations with established infrastructure including close proximity to:

• a natural gas pipeline;
• a major hydro power transmission line and transformer sub-station; and
• is located only 15 kilometers from the CN rail line in Houston, BC.

Bard is earning a 100% interest in the Property under the terms of an option agreement (see News Release dated May 9, 2007). The Grouse Mountain exploration work is being conducted under the supervision of Qualified Person Rick Kemp, P.Geo.

The 2009 mapping identified the location of the favorable geological units including new areas of Alaskite and granites hosting visible molybdenum mineralization. The Alaskite Zone is aptly named for the white, fine to medium grained quartz feldspar porphyry intrusive that was recognized and mapped in outcrop. The Alaskite intrusive is the main focus of the Lone Pine Property and in drilling it has been interpreted as being the most favorable lithology for molybdenum mineralization and is the host to the existing resource. All of the historical showings were re-located in the field comprising old pits and trenches where molybdenum mineralization had been located. Several samples were collected from these sites where visible molybdenum was found in scattered float samples which appear close to source comprising coarse grained granite.

The soil sampling program was successful in extending and better defining areas of anomalous molybdenum soil geochemical anomalies identified through historical surveys. Earlier this year a test soil sample survey was completed over the known molybdenum resource area of the Alaskite Zone with the highest soil value of 69.4ppm Mo. A total of 480 soil samples were collected at 25m intervals over the newly established grid. The soil samples over the new grid area have values of up to 139.8ppm Mo, in the vicinity of Alaskite float samples with visible moybdenite. Anomalous molybdenum soil results exhibits an arcuate shaped anomaly overlying the contact zone of the coarse grained granite and extending outward to the honfelsed volcanics. All of the known showings located during the current mapping program are located within the zone of anomalous Mo in soils.

The Lone Pine Property currently has a calculated measured and indicated resource at a 0.04% Mo cutoff of 110,340,000 tonnes grading 0.083% Mo containing 201,733,000 in-situ pounds of molybdenum (Please refer to News Release dated January 22, 2009 for full resource disclosure).

The Property has an ideal location for operations with established infrastructure including:

- Highway 16;

- a natural gas pipeline;

- a major hydro power transmission line and transformer sub-station; and

- is located only 15 kilometers from the CN rail line in Houston, BC.

Bard is earning a 100% interest in the Property under the terms of an option agreement (see News Release dated September 15, 2006). The Lone Pine exploration work is being conducted under the supervision of Qualified Person Jim Miller-Tait, P.Geo., a Director of Bard. Samples were analyzed by Acme Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver utilizing the Group 1DX methodology. Analytical procedures consist of an acid digestion ICP-MS analysis.

The 2009 exploration program consisted of a geochemical and geological mapping/prospecting program that was completed on the southwest-facing slope of Grouse Mountain. Soil samples were collected at 50m intervals along 8 lines at 200m spacing covering an area of 1.5km x 2.0km. The program resulted in a total of 356 soil and 6 rock samples being collected. Results will be made available as soon as received and interpreted.

Exploration on the Property dates back to 1914 when chalcopyrite/sphalerite mineralisation was first discovered on the Grouse Mountain Property. During the period 1915 to 1927, extensive drifting and raising was completed on two levels on the Ruby Zone, with some work being done on the Lakeview Zone. After an approximate 30 year hiatus, a company drilled 5,700 meters of diamond drilling and rehabilitated the underground workings. During 1970, VLF-EM surveys and 1,282 metres of diamond drilling were completed. This was followed by various geochemical/geophysical surveys and additional drilling in 1984 when the operators added a further 720,000 tonne low grade inferred resource to the existing 320,000 tonnes of 0.38% copper, 4.23% zinc, and 0.88 g/t silver (These resource calculations were completed prior to National Instrument 43-101 and therefore are non-compliant with current regulations). A short exploratory drill program in 1990 is the last known major work done on the Property. It has been reported that there has been over 1,100 meters of underground development completed on the Property. The claims are also prospective for porphyritic molybdenum deposition.

The Property is underlain by Mid Jurassic volcanoclastic sediments of the Smithers Formation, and Lower Jurassic pyroclastic tuffs and breccias of the Telkwa Formation. A number of east-northeasterly trending veins occur on the Property that were formed within steep normal fault planes. These fault zones were ideal conduits for mineralising mesothermal hydrothermal fluids. The copper-zinc-silver +/- gold quartz/carbonate veins encountered are typically mineralised with pyrite/sphalerite/chalcopyrite, with lesser galena and tetrahedrite. Previous petrographic studies have indicated some of the numerous mineralised structures may actually be stratiform massive sulphides.

The Property has an ideal location for operations with established infrastructure including close proximity to:

- a natural gas pipeline;

- a major hydro power transmission line and transformer sub-station; and

- is located only 15 kilometers from the CN rail line in Houston, BC.

Bard is earning a 100% interest in the Property under the terms of an option agreement (see News Release dated May 9, 2007). The Grouse Mountain exploration work is being conducted under the supervision of Qualified Person Jim Miller-Tait, P.Geo., a Director of Bard.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include market prices, exploration and development successes, continued availability of capital and financing, and general economic, market or business conditions.
